Description and Uses

Solvent and softening agent, lacquers, organic synthesis.
The commercial Ethyl crotonate, used in flavor compositions, is a liquid. It has a powerful and diffusive, sourcaramellic-fruity odor, reminiscent of unripe berries. This ester is used in imitation Strawberry, occasionally also in Pineapple or other imitation fruit flavors. The concentration used is generally very low, classified as "traces" only.
